      First harvest is over , we'll get a few berries at a time for the   
   rest of the summer - thus the need for a bigger patch . We get average   
   3-5" of rain per month here , and the soil here has quite a bit of clay   
   . I've been adding organic matter for a few years now and it'd getting a   
   lot better . It still packs quickly though . Fortunately there is a   
   slope to the ground so there is not a problem with standing water .
